A NOTE ON THIS ISSUE:
Welcome to this month's issue of MPT! Starting off this issue, wastewater
treatment for large municipalities is a difficult process, with many facilities
containing hundreds of assets and thousands of data points that report
continuously. In our Case Studies section, Aquatic Informatics' Erik Larsen
explains how his company's innovations harness this data to optimize
wastewater management (pg. 14).
Next, Pragati Verma of Greene Tweed takes a deep dive into the
challenging water shortages facing communities and industry, focusing
on how one nuclear power plant prolonged its water pump's life with
desalination efforts (pg. 18). The economic activity dependent on water is an
estimated $86 trillion, so the stakes are high.
Lastly, as many companies wrestle to extract full value from their digital
transformation efforts, the limitations of today's
automation architecture are being realized. However,
the technicians at Emerson believe that the once
elusive benefits of scalable automation are within
reach. See how their Boundless Automation can be a
boon for several industries (pg. 28). Enjoy!
